They're not releasing things every day, you can wait a day or two if your quota is full right? Is Baka-bt or other torrent sites all blocked? What about VeryCD? You're literally telling me that there is absolutely no other way to get these releases unless you come to Dynasty? Please don't say this because even the Chinese community has been uploading English releases as raws since some groups actually work from them. Places like Yamibo release most things faster than English groups anyway. Unless you are specifically looking for NSFW items in which case I want to say sadpanda is not blocked by GFW.
Sure I only have to (and am able to) download the releases on confirming them having come out, but I must use a resumable download manager to get the complete several-MB package, which eats my 8-downloads quota up, fast, neat and clean.
So why do I have to find torrents/other sites, whose availabilities remain unconfirmed (and hardly can I find a working one, which is more important), when I can get a stable source to download them? I DO get the original packages for YP, lililicious, and others, but I CAN'T get them for other groups, when they are blocked, aside from downloading here from DR.
As of VeryCD, maybe you don't know that the links had been erased for long enough. Let alone whether the links are still resourceful. HTTP/FTP is always far more reliable than P2P.
Yamibo? Community? You certainly don't know (or so it seems to me) how it feels when you encounter this:
- You want to read some comics to kill time, so you go searching it.
- Search results leads you to some kind of ACG-related forums.
- Texts appear on screen saying "you must reply to view the full post."
- You sigh, register an account (likely with a email-verification), and go back to the page.
- You get a notification, saying "you aren't authorized to reply - you have to spend some more time and spam some amount of threads, in order to rank up you account."
- After some boring spamming, you finally get the priviledge to reply.
7A. Then you see another line of text, saying "you don't have enough virtual money/coins/score/whatever used in that forum to 'buy' the full post."
7B. Or, you finally get the images displayed, which turn out to be some pain-in-the-ass jp->en->ch second-handed translations, which are full of obvious mistakes, terrible choices of curly-scripted fonts, re-compressing noises, non-done SFXes in English, etc. (Especially annoying if you can read both English and Japanese. And since you don't seem like using a mothertongue of Chinese (again, at least to me), I'll skip the even-annoying swinging between traditional & simplified ch.)
- The steps above should have taken up all your free time allocated for the reading. Oh! Time killed! Congratulations!
F@ck it.
I literally don't understand why we're even having this conversation right now. Because nothing you've posted has contributed to the OP's problem and as far as I know the OP is most likely not behind GFW. So going to a scanlator's site is the perfect solution here for them.
You literally forgot your posting some method not usable for all people, which I was pointing out.
Last and least, I don't believe an nginx would be so weak as to have such problems, if my IE isn't mistaking it.
